About our non-slip bath coating in Sydenham
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, on shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Landlord and trade work in Sydenham
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Common questions in Sydenham
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Sydenham and the rest of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Greater London.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Sydenham
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
